Theres no image yet, you'll just have to watch carefully.

Shin Orochi is a more powerful version of Orochi. That's all I know so far.

Yet both are playable. Orochi will never encounter himself in his story because his storymode is a prequel, explaining how he got into power in the first game.

I saw the vid and he did like some red orb thingy that surrounded him..WOW

I need to render him!!! So KEWL

To me, he looks more human-like compare to his like armor-ish body if you guys can see the vid. Around 02:01

Shin Orochi has an insanely cheap C1 that drains your character of their entire Musou gauge, and a new R1 with an insane area of effect. Other than that, he seems to be the same as regular Orochi.

I'd hate to be enemies with him :o Thanks Tetsuo

Still, he looks slightly different like less Orochi from WO like and more Half Orochi and Half Human

I agree about him looking more humane. I say its the hair they gave him that makes him look different <__< And if Orochi is in the game, Does this mean we can have Orochi and Shin Orochi in your team on the same stage :o

Double Bonus Muahahahhaa..hopefully sommore pics come soon.

All I can say is that, from the vid, the serpent thingy on his head is not there, the three eyes on his torso isn't there. The serpent head still is on his shoulder though.

Maybe it's like his more Offensive form

Well, in Japanese, 'Shin' can mean 'True' or 'Better'. Shin Orochi is probably just the fully reawakened Orochi after he is awakened at the end of the game. I haven't played the game yet, don't care for spoilers, and can't read Japanese anyways, so all this is is just an educated guess XD So yea, Shin Orochi is not another Orochi, he is simply the more powerful form, akin to the relationship between Gouki and Shin Gouki in Street Fighter.

mogwaimon is correct in the statement that Shin Orochi is like the "true" version of Orochi. A more powerful iteration.

Which in this case means he peeled away his armor and his hair turned white? Isn't that how DBZ characters power up? Take off your shirt and make your hair glow another color? :lol:

So is KOEI taking another page out of Capcom's book?
Shin-Akuma >< Shin-Orochi

Guess this will be a better end boss than the original. I played last nite with Taishi Ci and pwned Orochi before he could announce himself with C1(iced) > dir+R1 > C1 = DEAD SNAKE GUY! :blink:

But if this new Shin-Orochi is better and tougher, then by all means...bring it.

Well, I feel good knowing that KOEI more or less did what I thought they'd do with this, making a "true" form of Orochi to face off against ... though, my prediction on Orochi's form was a bit off (no 8-headed serpent thing).

I just thought of something worse than evil twin brother!

Shin:Orochi, I am your Father!
Orochi: NOOOO!!

:lol: Sorry but knowing how lazy KOEI is I would't be suprised!

So, in this game there is another version orochi... :huh:

Reminds me of Soul calibur 3 where there was zasalamel who also holds scythe, then transforms into abyss which is similar to zasalamel.

So am guessing Shin Orochi is this abyss........

More powerful version of Orochi with some visual changes. Not that complicated. It's been done hell and back again in a lot of games and tv before.

Orochi looks a hell of a lot scarier than Shin Orochi, I'd have expected something more evil. Probably just replace his hair with snakes and make his skin a darker colour and have snake-skin armour. Disappointing, Koei.

So... How does Shin Orochi come about anyway? I actually have a theory about the colouring (in context of Wei's ending as well).

Actually just watching the video I already notice some differences between the two. Besides the obvious fact that he wears less armor and white hair. He has the laser thing for a new C1. And his C2 is different, as he didn't go into the air on it before.
